NEWARK, N. j., Sept. Just on the
outskirts Of the little town Of Arlington
are the old copper mines. At one time
they contributed much to the income of
many of the old and wealthy families Of
this city. For years, however, they have
not been worked, and they are now oc-
cssionally visited only through curiosity.
Entrance to the hines is gained. at a
secluded spot In the side of a bluff
which oyerlooks the Arlington cemetery
and q stretch Of meadows reaching al
most as far as snake hill.
George Oliver, q prominent contractor
OF Arlington, had occasion to visit the
cemetery the other day, and when about
to leave had his attention attracted to q
man OF odd appearance, who seemed to
be vending his way toward the entrance
of the mines. The actions of the strange
individual and his peculiar looks aroused
MIR. divers curiosity, and he started
after the stranger for the purpose of ind
ing out who he wss. When he had come
within about twenty-five feet of the man
the noise of the cracking of some bram-
bles was evidently heard by the stranger,
for he turned around; and, upon seeing
Mr.. Oliver, gave an exclamation eff snr-
prise, and immediately darted into the
mouth of the mine M out of sight as
1 suddenly as il the earth had opened and
swallowed him. MI. Oliver was at q
loss to account for the actions of the
nIan. He, however, made up his mind
to follow into the mine.
After they had walked about for some
time vatnly seeking an outlet Mr.. Oliver
noticed a spark of light at what seemed
to be a long distance of, and which ap-
peared and disappeared at intervals. The
explorers pushed in that direction. The
nearer they came to the light the steadier
it seemed to grow. When within a few
fleet of it they stopped suddenly in sur
prise. They had found that the light
came from u pot of some kind of grease
into which had been thrown 8 lighted
rag. The pot sat upon 9 stone raised
one foot from the floor OF the mine. That
portion of the mine wal about fifteen
feet in circumference and considerably
higher han any of tbs other passages.
The floor was level and free from any
loose stones, N perfectly dry.
While they stood there they were
startled by hearing 9 voice demanding
what they meant by their Intrusion.
